Ok,everyone knows how it felt to start final fantasy 11,and most people have forgotten. Until recently upon reading Lokky's thread,i have remmebered stuff too. i remember how many times i i died in sandy because i didnt know how to attack yet.i remmeber when 10k gil seemed like sooo much,and that it was all i wanted. i remeber how i used to get my money. i started in sandy. i used to go out and kill rabbits unitil they dropped the rabit skins. i would kill them all day,seriously. and once i got three,i would take them to that dude that stands by himself in south sandy and trade it to him for 120 gil. i see it now as pathetic, but actually i loved the game then,i t was great. Do you ever remember first setting foot in la thiene or konschat or even those canyons by windurts???It was simply wonderful for me. This game seemed so complex and mystrious 2 years ago when i started this game, but now,i know wat to do, and it kinda takes the fun out of it. i remember walking by Leaping Lizzy everyday and never attacking it thinking it was just another lizzy. i serioulsy saw this Lizard EVERY DAY when i was level 15 while for my first time in bastok. i remeber the first time i was in the dunes. Basicly the place was scary then, and its even scarier now. All the gobs and things that wanted to kill you and always a bossy party leader trying to tell me what to do, trying to help me, but i ws pissed and i couldnt help it cuz i was just a noob.i do the ame thing now.i remeber wondering why at level 20 with my war why i couldnt get anymore crystals from the orcs around sandy,lol. i remeber the 5 days it took for me to get my subjob,with every single member of my LS out trying to get that skull,but the drop never came for 5 days. I remember Going out on the selbina boat and getting a wondeful feeling that i was actually in the game and could feel the wind in my hair. i remeber just exploring vana'diel.
Do you remeber doing any of this?Do you remeber not having to worry about bots and gil sellers and NM campers and trying to get a trillion gil before the sun sets?Do you remeber the feeling you got when you first turned on this game. If people could keep these memories close, maybe the innocense of the game might come back and you might feel that wind in your hair once again. try thinking bout those little things you used to do that doesnt seem so long ago,but rele was.
Just remember

ya i remember like u i always passed LL and thought i was another lizard but 1 day i decided to attack and i killed it and got drop me being 15 (noob) didnt no it was worth much so i sold it to a thf right next to me for 20k bad thing. Also in valkrum dunes i had gotten aggroed by VE and seeing someone right there thats able to kill it run by laughin T.T. I also being a puller for my party pulled a NM in quifim and they got pissed and leader yelled at me and said if i did it again hell kik me. I always made mistakes thats what i remember and like they say learn from ur mistakes. ^^
Yes, if we think about it, we will all remember. But that's like asking someone to remember their childhood, and asking them to "be" a child again. Though it seems fun, it won't happen. The "thrill" of initial newness to the game is gone once you feel like you've seen and done a lot. Maybe through new quests and adventures, the feelings might return for a sec, but we won't go back to beings newbs again. That's only once a lifetime. I'm sorry.

awww, i saw that movie, that was sooo sweet! i really do remember all those times i had when i first started, i remember i would stop and talk to everyone! my friend got kinda annoyed with me, but i didn't really care, it was fun, i remember stopping and talking to some random girl taru for an hour, i don't remember her name or anything, but we just sat there and talked for an hour and it was realy nice, i didn't care that i wasn't leveling or anything, i just had a nice talk, and then i remember the first ls i entered, there was ony five of us, the guy who invited me, coplan, he was awesome, he played lots of instruments and always had great stories to tell, then there was a mithra and a galka, theano and pewter,and then there was prynnie, they were my first friends in the game besides my couple of friends from real life, and i spent so much more time with my ingame friends, my three friends from real life cared too much about leveling and and junk like that, i had a great time, i was soooo excited the first time i got on the boat, i took tons of pictures and just ran around like i had add or something, haha, yeah, i was soo excited, just like starilae said, it almost felt as if i was there and could feel the wind in my hair
i think i enjoy all this so much, adventuring and seeing new places i mean, is because i read books all the time (like dragonlance, the tales of Valdemar, and stuff like that) and you know, you can really only dream of places like that and doing things like the books, exploring, fighting battles, and whatnot, and this a game like this where there's people to interact with, places to discover, and baddies to destroy, it's a really great feeling and one i had lost for a while because i had gotten into a grind, but my friends and i were thinking of starting again for the summer with new characters and i'm really looking forward to it, seeing everything again, hopefully i'll rejoin with that adventuring spirit again, i remember those times
i remember once i was incredibly fascinated with a lvl 6 galka from bastok that had somehow made his way to bastok, i was so amazed, haha, that was before i knew you could switch jobs and everything like that, i remember i was in a party once for a quest or something (actually a mission i think) that took us down into the haruto ruins or whatever they were called in sarutabaruta, and i come out of the room after everyone and i'm waiting by the stairs cause i don't know where they've gone and all we're doing is just leaving now cause we'vefinished it all up, when all of a sudden they come running around a corner yelling at me to just run! i didn't know what was going on, and then suddenly every enemy in the dang ruins came running past me as we ran up these really long stairs, i took so many pictures and i was laughing sooooo hard, it was great! i still have screenshots from that somewhere, i remember when i thought 120 gil for one of my spells was an ungodly amount of money, yeah, those were the good times...

0.o
I thought BB was a higher lvl NM?
why didnt I knowwww!! *buys Quus' and runs sniveling to BB's spawn point*
I remember planning to get Blizzaga but not Bio 2 cuz I couldn't afford it. Mapping out the monsters I would be killing so that I only bought spells that I would be using that were effective. I wasn't going to take up a trade to get money so I was forced to get spells from the spell guy and sell it on AH to ppl that didn't know any better for profit... very little, profit.
I remember my first day on the boat to Mhaura and it was fantastic. I loved the music and the dunes and once I got to Crawler's Nest I started missing the old beaches. I think that is maybe why I started leveling the other jobs also cuz I got homesick for the dunes, lol.
Now, I am really not excited about doing Crawler's Nest again but I am excited about taking all four jobs to 75. I hope to find something new for a change and go to new places.
I do miss my old friends from way back that no longer play.

o.o i miss the dunes too...
god,its so weird how i think back about all these things everyone is saying,cuz its so funny how i remember these things too.Do you remmeber that rele nice "first friend" you had and you used to go everywhere with them then all of a sudden they quit playing and you never find out why?yeah,im getting fuzzy feeling. Final Fantasy 11,i believe is one of the best MMorpg's ever....wat video game can make the human mind feel this way.SE rele put the best work into this game. And now...it makes me think about my first friend,lol, it was a girl taru named Princesscuetaru,lol and we were both newbs. and i remeber, we were running through la theine when a tremor ram just show up and killed my little taru,omg,it was fast.but instead of running...i go and try to fight it to "defend" the already dead taru and die myself,thats after i used my 2 hour after i figred out that it only worked every 2 hous,lol.
I remember when I would see a level 40 run by, and I thought "Wow, I can't wait until I am that level, I will be SO strong!"
Lo and behold, over a year later, I am only level 51 and I think about all that I HAVEN'T gotten accomplised in the game, and I am still so low compared to others... it's depressing, really.
I miss how naive I was to think that once I got higher in level, I would feel like I had really gotten somewhere, instead I see all the stuff I haven't done and I want to /cry.
Auren 51 thf / 29 nin / 19 whm / 19 war
/blush
Yes, over a year, ashamed to admit it... what did I waste all of that time doing?!?!?

If you would allow me this little bit of terseness I believe you spent most of your time waiting for invites.
As BLM and WHM I usually didn't have to wait at all. As WAR/WHM I would still get invites but not many, but when I did and I got lucky and leveled a lot.
As THF I am again faced with a low invite rate. Sorry if this changed the subject somewhat.
